Yeovil Town boss Darren Way praised his players for picking up a point against Cambridge United after a difficult week at the club.

The Glovers lost assistant Terry Skiverton on Thursday, with Way’s long-serving number two stepping down to spend more time with his family.

The result moves them up to 19th in the table, two points above United.

“It was very difficult to get the ball down and play but I have to be pleased with the performance, players limiting mistakes,” Way said.

“In possession we wanted a little bit more but out of possession, to keep a clean sheet at Cambridge is something I don’t think I’v done as manager.

“I respect the players. It’s been a very difficult week with my number two (Terry Skiverton) stepping down, but I feel proud of my players today.

“In both halves, whichever way you were going if you played the ball forward the ball changed three or four times with the pace of the wind. With the rain as well, that dismantled the pattern and flow of an entertaining game.

“It’s important with where we are in the league and the run of form that we’ve been on to come away from home and give a solid display. Whether it’s a performance in possession that we’re proud of, probably not, but having said that there were a lot of factors that influenced that.”
